I'm running for re-election to continue the accessible, responsive representation I've provided for eight years. I currently chair the Finance Committee and Community Development Authority. I've attended nearly every council meeting since taking office. When residents call about road conditions, permits, or city services, I answer and connect them to the right people. I ran because I wanted government that shows up—and I've built a record of doing exactly that.
Fiscal sustainability is our biggest challenge. As Finance Committee chair, I've navigated the toughest budget in my eight years—inflation hit hard, but we maintained services with minimal tax increases. Thoughtful development is also key: I've supported lakefront projects that grow our tax base on underutilized land while carefully listening to neighbor concerns.
Equal access starts with responsive government. I take constituent calls personally and connect people to the right resources—you shouldn't need to know someone to get help. I've supported housing development that adds units at various price points, helping moderate costs citywide. I support local businesses through licensing and personal engagement. City services should work for everyone, not just insiders.
St. Francis can contribute through practical local action: supporting energy-efficient standards in new lakefront development, evaluating efficiency improvements in city operations as budgets allow, and participating in county-level coordination on transit and stormwater. The city participates meaningfully in clean water initiatives. Tight budgets constrain near-term options, but climate should factor into how we evaluate development and capital investments.
St. Francis is generally safe, and I want to keep it that way. I've prioritized protecting public safety funding even in tight budget years. I support community-connected policing where officers know their neighborhoods. Prevention matters too—well-maintained public spaces, adequate lighting, and responsive code enforcement help prevent problems. Safety is about responsive governance.
